Famous for the olives that are grown and harvested in the region, Manzanillo is a Mexican destination which is revered by beach and nature lovers from neighbouring American states and worldwide. Manzanillo features two bays which are separated by the Santiago peninsula. Sandy beaches are located all along the bay's front end, so this is a paradise for ocean lovers. Ocean Pacific Adventures offer fishing trips out to sea to catch sailfish and dorado, marlin and tuna. If underwater scenery strikes your fancy, then try the PADI dive centre for some great day trips. Surfing is also popular in the bay. Neptune's Dive College supplies equipment and offers trips.
